The Hive World of Anfair is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Planetary Governor Alexio Acilius with an iron fist, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, anti-smoking policies, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful population of 7.049 billion Anfairians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sector Administratum. The average income tax rate is 97.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Anfairian economy, worth a remarkable 1,682 trillion Aquila Pieces a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 238,640 Aquila Pieces, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Chins in the royal family get bigger with each generation, prison libraries are being replaced with interrogation chambers, etiquette guides advise visitors to 'grovel gracefully', and libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anfair's national animal is the Two-headed Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Imperial Faith.

Anfair is ranked 6,854th in the world and 165th in The East Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 142 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
